Guess we'll get to see what high end programs look like up close. If Miami is in the game against USC late, I will be impressed. Juju is full go, and it appears that her knee has healed well. There's no one on this roster that stands a chance of guarding her if she can move like she did pre injury, but that's true of **** near every team in the country.
